Billy and Dad are celebrating our 100th post by reviewing the best videos we’ve dug up.

First up, there’s Caetano singing the Beatles’ “You’re Gonna Lose that Girl.” It’s such a charmer because every music lover identifies with him – just singing a tune you love, a little bashfully, a little triumphantly. There’s a sweetness in how he sings both vocal parts – “You’re gonna lose that girl – you’re gonna lose that girl – you’re gonna looooose that girl . . .” It’s a good first song for our purposes, because it neatly communicates what we’re all about: loving music.

Next, we have Sam and Dave singing “Soul Man.” An obvious choice, because of how absolutely cool Sam and Dave are – their band too, for that matter. But the video has an added charm because of the German squares they’re serenading. You get to see a little soul stirring in them, though they don’t quite know what to do with it.

Now, contrast the German audience with a much more spirited audience: the 70s kids of Sesame Street. This could be one of the best videos ever.

Irene, daughter and sister, says of the following video: “Look at what America has created: the most joyful, crazy dance ever!” Amen.

One Response to Best of the Blog: Our 100th Post

Awesome post, guys. At first, I didn’t think i liked Caetano singing ‘You’re Gonna Lose That Girl’ but when it ended I actually really did. I especially like the part where Caetano sings “If you don’t treat her right, my friend, you’re gonna find her gone.” Or something like that. I listened to the beginning of Dave and Sam, and I thought it was OK. The Sesame Street ‘Very Supersticious’ was HILARIOUS. As for the Hellzapoppin Swing Dance Scene, You said it Irene!
